Has anyone used this on a 12 GA Remington 870? Will it hold up to the recoil
16347
I put this on my 12 GA Mossberg 500 with 20" barrel and it has held just fine. I have had the scope on there since around January of this year and I have shot slugs, 00 Buckshot, 3" Turkey loads, bird shot, etc. and it has held zero the entire time. I love this scope and I don't see you having a problem with the recoil. I should note that I do have my shotgun customized with a ATI talon pistol grip and adjustable stock system which does take a lot of the recoil away. They have those for the Remington 870 also if you are interested. I hope this helped. Let me know if I can answer anything else.

I put one on a 9 mm. carbine. Works great. But for your shotgun i don't know. It's held on with two screws, it is a good fit but i would be worried about it coming loose. If you only shoot it occasionally i say go for it.

I mounted mine on a rem 870 12 ga. I suppose it will clamp onto any 12 GA or if you already have the rail you could clip it on without the clamp on rail.

Seems to be fine for me. I used it on an AR-15. They don't have much recoil. I might not use it with any larger caliber rifle.

Not a good choice. I bought a stock that has a internal spring system. Firm enough to steady the shot but does relieve the recoil. I have it on an AK-47, but I think it would be more effective for a shotgun. Not cheap. Over $100 but not cheaply made.

I have mine mounted on a Remington 300 Win Mag. And have had no issues so far.

It should work as long as the fore end does not cover the front of the receiver when it is in it's full rearward (bolt open) position. I have the stock Remington tactical fore end on my 870 and the shell holder works great. It won't work with fore ends that cover the front of the receiver when slid to the full rearward position. I hope this helps.

Hmm Have had it on a FNAR 308 ,AR and AK. It holds up fine. Nice scope - good glass - and just a really good fit and feel on guns like that .Its a good by no regrets - Good luck

i'm sorry I do not know, I have a standard 870. it SHOULD, but to be honest that was the very first thing that I did to my 870. I hated the fore end and the stock so I went tactical on both

Works fine on an AR platform. Shotgun recoil is much higher. Probably would work well on a shotgun. It clamps on a rail securely.

Mine is mounted on an AR15 which kicks much less than a 12ga. This is a cheap scope. I would buy a scope that specifies it works on a shotgun.

I had it on ar-15 and it worked fine, no issues, hard to say on a 12 gauge, but I bet itll hold up, for 304 its worth it, reticle as good as any

Not sure whether it would mess it up or not but I have mounted Bushnell scopes on 12 ga. Rem 870 without any problems. You might check out the Leupold and Nikon Shotgun scopes with BDC. I have the Leupold on a bolt action Savage 20 ga and it is very accurate. They are in the same price range of this scope.

Should do fine, though I don't have an 870 to test with. It fits so many models that I assume there's an agreed upon standard for size and threading for these things.

I use one on my AK47 and my Remington tatical 12 gauge which has a lot more recoil than an AR15 with no problems

It fits on a weaver/picatinney mount, so it should mount with no problem. I'm using it on a S&W15-22 and it works great. The "shock" from a 12 Ga. would be the only question and I don't know have that answer.

Hey buddy, no recoil lug on the one I got for my Remington. I haven't received the one for my Savage yet but I don't imagine it does. Just the mount and the screws. Hope that helps.

I'm guessing not. I ordered this for a Remington 870 with a bead front sight. Did not notice the bead had a base until I received it. It is designed for the bead to fit into the small opening, which would have been perfect, had there been no base. I still snapped it on, & pushed it up to the base, & centered it. It fits tight on my 20g, so should fit even tighter on a 12. If you have a post sight, I'd forget it, though, & look for something else. Good luck.
